Our country is in nothing short of a mess and totally screwed-up at this point in time. While political leaders fight it out, all the basics of (good) governance is thrown out of the door. It seems that things are running"auto-pilot" mode, only problem is this autopilot mode is taking the plane nowhere. Economic policies remains unseen but somehow our political leaders have all the funds to weather through an impending economic crisis while the people on the street struggles to make ends meet. I wonder where they get all the money from?
Our education system remains in the dumps making our schools a hotbed for racial intolerance, our graduates cannot find employment (some could hardly speak English). The constant debates on education policies with no firm action or commitment is not helping. Take the teaching of maths and science in English, the debates continues while generations are wasted away. Each Minister wants to make their mark - with no idea as what they are doing. Take "smart schools" of example. Before it was fully rolled out, came the "vision schools". Before we can take stock, now we have "cluster schools". What are our leaders (education ministers especially included) do about the declining quality of education? They acknowledge this problem it by sending their children overseas (instead o fixing them), bypassing even the SPM!
On national unity, instead of fixing it, they have decided to fix Malay unity, I am sure it is not for the benefit of the Malays. I think it is much more to do with the preservation of their own power. Power that have been used to benefit themselves and their cronies. In a fifty to hundred years from now, children will be learning about this in history books - they will learn about how our political leaders plundered the nation's wealth. They will be classified in the same league of pirates of the high-seas! Especially when there were opportunities to make amends and change the course of history, they squander them. Sadly, they reverted to saving themselves and (what's left) of their political career and to please others to support them.
This is how history will remember them, this is what our future generation will be reading about. Sad isn't it?
